19-year-old domestic help allegedly gang-raped by robbers in Delhi

New Delhi: A 19-year-old maid alleged that three men, who barged into her employer's home, raped her and committed robbery in west Delhi.

The incident took place at the house of a businessman in Hari Nagar area at around 4 pm on Wednesday.

The domestic help was sent to a nearby government hospital for her medical examination after which an FIR will be registered, police said.

"As per the victim's statement, after barging into the house two of the accused raped her while the third one committed robbery after which they tied the victim and locked her in a room and fled the spot," said a police official.

The domestic help works at the house of businessman who deals in readymade garment and runs his office from Rajouri Garden area.

Both the businessman and his wife were in office and their children were out when the incident took place, police said.

The matter came to light when the businessman's wife reached the house and found the main door locked from outside. She found the house ransacked and the domestic help tied in a room.

However, a senior police official said that they have found contradictions in the statement of the maid. She was employed in the house just two days ago and her verification was not done with the local police.
